NEW Sigma Eye Shadow Bases SWATCHES & Review! (and new discount code)

Hello and happy Monday, everyone! So excited about this post... You guys have no idea how hard it has been over the past several months not being able to share these beauties with you all. I mean technically, I could have, but like I've said before, who wants to see someone raving about something that isn't available?
Not this girl.

Over the past few months I've been using and loving these so much. They are seriously great eye shadow bases.
And yes, they are truly BASES. It irks me that most cream shadows call themselves "bases". I'm guilty of it as well. But to me, eye shadow bases are a product that both grabs and intensifies your eye shadow color while preventing creasing throughout the day. Most products lack that whole crucial "preventing creasing" thing.

I've really been objectively testing out every shade and I can honestly say without a doubt that these are my new favs. Even with my very oily lids that are super prone to creasing, these babies hold up all day. Whether worn on their own or with a shadow layered over it, they stay true to color and prevent creasing.

And let's talk about the packaging.. I LOVE that they have figured out the whole "drying out" thing. We've all had a Paint Pot (or 6) that have dried out into a little shrunken mess before you can even get through a quarter of it. With these, while the lid seals tightly, there is also a little extra "cap" over the product itself to keep it fresh until you use every bit.

So what shades are your favs?? My most-used shades so far are definitely Persuade, Pose, and Sculpt... Which happen to all be a part of the Bare Kit. I'm also LOVING the Pursue and Strike shades. It's kind of awful to try and pic my favs. I love them all!

I love sigma, and I am obsessed with cream shadows and bases but as of right now I might have to pass on these because I am so in love with my Maybelline color tattoos and there are so many colors in that range as well. Knowing me I will cave and buy some of these too, but I like the Bare set the best!
